Sevilla appoint former player Almeyda as manager
Sevilla have appointed Argentine Matias Almeyda as manager, the LaLiga club said on Monday, with their former player signing a three-year contract at the side which battled relegation last season. Almeyda spent one season at Sevilla when he joined from River Plate in 1996, before moving on to play with Lazio, Parma and Inter Milan in Italy. After ending his playing days back at River Plate, he began his managerial career there. The 51-year-old spent the last two seasons in charge at Greek club AEK Athens where he won the domestic double in his first campaign, having earlier parted ways with San Jose Earthquakes in the MLS. Sevilla avoided relegation by one point last season, with manager Garcia Pimienta sacked in April and Joaquin Caparros appointed until the end of the season, a campaign which saw angry fans storm the club's training ground last month.

Matias Almeyda to land in Seville in the coming hours
Matias Almeyda to land in Seville in the coming hours Sevilla FC has reached a preliminary agreement with Matías Almeyda to become their new coach, according to the Diario de Sevilla. The Argentine coach will arrive in the Andalusian city at the beginning of next week, once the final administrative procedures are completed. Almeyda will sign for two seasons, with an option for a third based on objectives, and will arrive with his usual team, which includes Omar Zarif and Carlos Roa. Advertisement His appointment marks a new phase after several changes on the bench and comes with the support of sporting director Antonio Cordón. The main challenge will be to restructure a squad limited by the club's financial conditions, which can only reinvest half of what it earns from sales. Almeyda thus takes on the challenge of revitalizing a Sevilla seeking stability and ambition after years of ups and downs. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
